One thing I have found is that people do not "judge" a wedding the way the bride (and perhaps groom do) especially men. I have been to a lot of weddings-some pretty over the top ones- and the only thing I remember is if the food was good or bad. I would type "LOL", but I am serious. The biggies are IMO, good food - fresh flowers, short vows- (pick a time limit and have your priest/rabbi/monk/ work within the time limit). People come to have a good time with you- so all a good wedding really needs is a happy couple.
The other stuff takes energy and actually when you get down to it nobody cares- not even you. My wife and I spent hours (actually I sat there in agony) picking out shoes for the gown (that took days to pick). So when we arrived before the wedding and were changing etc., the bridal company that made all our arrangements for got to bring the damn shoes. So like the butthead, I am, I rip into the staff (wisely I did not tell my wife about this), make one of thme cry, (real charmer that I am) and nobody (not even my wife) cared about the shoes.
For the kimono's, for our wedding pics the brought the wrong size head piece- nobody noticed, ETC ETC. all this stuff, doesn't really matter- just have a good time, and do what is comfortable for you financially. The last thing you want to think about on your wedding day is _OMG - how much is the open bar costing me- my friends are pigs!! LOL Buy a car- or stay in a suite
cheers
